CESARIA EVORA - Sombras di distino скачать видео бесплатно

The True ambassador of the "Morna",

Cesária Évora, born 27 August 1941 in the port town of Mindelo, Cape Verde, on the island of São Vicente - 17 December 2011, was a notable folk singer. She was known as the "barefoot diva" because of her propensity to appear on stage in her bare feet in support of the homeless and poor women and children of her country. Long known as the queen of the morna, a soulful genre (related with the Portuguese fado) sung in Creole-Portuguese, she mixed her sentimental folk tunes filled with longing and sadness with the acoustic sounds of guitar, cavaquinho, violin, accordion, and clarinet.  

Lyrics to Sombras Di Distino :

Parti pa terra longe

Foi sempre nha ilusão

E ali ja'm esta

Di sorriso falso

Margurado e triste

Ta vaga di mar em mar

Ta corrê di vento em vento

Em busca di um futuro

Entre sombras di distino

Nha vida ê zig-zagant'

Sina di um fidjo caboverdiano

Num paz inconstante

Cma distino di um cigano

M'ta vivê tormentado

Num mundo cheio di maldade

Nha sorte ê dori e magoado

Na um silencio di sodade

To leave for a distant land

was always my illusion

And here I am finally

With a forced smile,

Bitter and sad

I will wander from sea to sea

I will travel from wind to wind

Searching for a future

Amidst the shadows of the destiny

My life is an endless toing and froing

It's the fate of a Cape-verdian son

To live an unconstant peace

Like the fate of a gypsy

I will live with torments

In a world filled with evil

My destiny is so hurt and sorrowful

Into a silence of longing
